Lot Description

1887 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-60 (NGC). Bright honey-gold surfaces exhibit one dimensional, non-cameo effect, however, we surmise this one may have been struck as a cameo. Scattered hay marks, hairlines and some light flecks in the fields account for the assigned grade. One of 122 Proofs of the date produced according to the Guide Bookfigure, though no doubt fewer than that exist today. An affordable example for Proof gold collectors. PCGS# 7913. NGC ID: 288A.
